Last year, at some point, I was hired to create a concept design for Logitech. The artworks were intended to appeal to the youth segment, and thus disport an interplay between style and pop-culture. The final designs were then be featured on a series of products, ranging from speakers to headphones. Above and below, are the results of my efforts.

Dynastic Combs

Jacqueline Pytyck (jacquelinepytyck) — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 10:54:12 -0700

Culture, and tradition are troves of inspiration; the history of Asian is no exception. This illustration series began as an interpretation of the 5 dynasties; Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou. The dynasties are represented by 5 decorative combs, 1 adorning each ruler. After combining the sovereign birds into a single image, I wondered what they would look like when treated individually; so, I experimented with doily patterns to create a border for each comb with the intention that the lace's delicate quality would both compliment and contrast the stringent nature of these feathery rulers. For more details regarding each comb, please visit my shop!

Dynastic Comb - Tang (For Sale)

A piece from a series of illustrations representing the dynastic combs of the 5 sovereign birds; Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, Zhou. This particular comb represents Tang, a strict and militant commander. The colouring is reminiscent of the Rooster (Gallus gallus).

Dynastic Comb - Han (For Sale)

Jacqueline Pytyck (jacquelinepytyck) — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 10:29:27 -0700

A piece from a series of illustrations representing the dynastic combs of the 5 sovereign birds; Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, Zhou. Introducing the fourth commanding officer, Emperor Han. This intimidating monarch lead a short-lived regime. However, they were able to assimilate practically every territory that crossed their path, seemingly with nothing more than a steely gaze. The colouring is reminiscent of the Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus).

Dynastic Comb - Jin (For Sale)

Jacqueline Pytyck (jacquelinepytyck) — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 10:26:02 -0700

A piece from a series of illustrations representing the dynastic combs of the 5 sovereign birds; Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, Zhou. This particular comb represents Jin, a persistent dictator who despite his ambition, lacked the stability and focus of his predecessor, Tang. This often caused Jin to fall victim to chaos. The colouring is reminiscent of the Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata).

Dynastic Comb - Liang (For Sale)

Jacqueline Pytyck (jacquelinepytyck) — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 10:20:39 -0700

A piece from a series of illustrations representing the dynastic combs of the 5 sovereign birds; Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, Zhou. Emperor Liang, the first ruling member of the royal sovereign birds. Often, untrustworthy and traitorous, Liang's methods were considered an embarrassment to the dynasty. However, some might argue that this ruler's influence gave song to the 'Golden Age'. The colouring is reminiscent of the Cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus).

Dynastic Comb - Zhou (For Sale)

Jacqueline Pytyck (jacquelinepytyck) — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 10:13:51 -0700

A piece from a series of illustrations representing the dynastic combs of the 5 sovereign birds; Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, Zhou. Emperor Zhou is the youngest and last ruling member of the 5 sovereign birds. Though, dutiful and noble, his reign was short-lived. Along with his precursors, Zhou was able to give rise to the Song Dynasty - their final movement. The colouring is reminiscent of the European Robin (Erithacus rubecula).

Wild Flowers

Jacqueline Pytyck (jacquelinepytyck) — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 12:49:30 -0800

'Wild Flowers' is an interpretation of Daucus carota, also known amidst its aliases as the Wild Carrot Flower. By pairing this particular plant with rabbits, I wanted to playfully compare the reproductive nature of both species and celebrate the continuity of life.
